Oracle is offering Arm instances powered by Ampere’s Altra processors at one cent per core hour as enterprises look to deploy more Arm-based workloads.
Oracle has launched an ARM-based compute offering on its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), OCI Ampere A1 Compute.
The offering includes a range of tools, solutions, and support for the platform based on ARM-based processors, which also includes flexible VM sizing to allow customers to customise based on memory and core requirements.
Oracle said the solution aims to help customers run cloud-native and general-purpose workloads on ARM instances with “significant price-performance benefits”.
The service is available in either a bare metal instance, a dual-socket 164 instance with 1 TB memory, or a flexible virtual machine. Oracle Cloud Free Tier also gives developers US$300 in free credits for 30 days.

Oracle Corp. is giving customers more choice and flexibility with the launch of its first Arm-based cloud compute offering on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform.
The new offering, called OCI Ampere A1 Compute, is designed to power both general-purpose and cloud-native workloads that demand high performance at more manageable costs, Oracle said today. It’s based on the Ampere Altra architecture built by Ampere Computing LLC.
Today’s announcement comes as Oracle makes a big investment into the Arm ecosystem more generally, with the availability of more resources and tools, including a new development environment for developers that’s intended to support Arm-based application development.
